      Read more »

      I’m pleased to announce that Leffingwell, LLC. and Scaled Agile Academy (a division of Scaled Agile, Inc.)  are collaborating on a training and certification process intended for consultants and agile working group leaders interested in deploying the Scaled Agile Framework (SAF, pronounced “safe”).

      About the Scaled Agile Framework™

      The framework is a proven, codified, and publicly-facing knowledge base that has been used to successfully scale Lean|Agile development at a number of large software enterprises. The purpose of SAF is to:

      • Enhance the competitiveness, productivity, and delivered software quality of the software industry worldwide
      • Provide the business benefits of agile development to all software teams
      • Increase motivation, empowerment, enjoyment, and just plain humanity, of software development practices

      The framework is represented by the continuously increasing detail we will be providing to the public website at ScaledAgileFramework.com, as well in Dean Leffingwell’s latest book Agile Software Requirements: Lean Requirements Practices for Teams, Programs, and the Enterprise.

      What and Where

      A four-day Scaled Agile Framework Deployment Consultant Certification process will be held in Boulder, CO., on May 22-25, 2012.

      What You Get Out of It

      Successful completion of the course will yield the following benefits:

      • Certificate of Achievement
      • A one-year license to use various training materials, including Agile Release Train Quickstart trainings and briefings, and Enterprise Product Owner and Enterprise ScrumMaster orientation trainings
      • Briefings, graphics, checklists, and other artifacts you can use to implement SAF Agile Release Trains and other SAF practices
      • Logo and branding kit for your business cards, letterhead, and marketing materials
      • Listing on our website as a “Scaled Agile Framework Certified Consultant”

      In addition Certified Consultants will have access to the following optional services:

      • A support agreement with one of our certifying partners (Scaled Agile Partners) for assistance with your first implementation of the framework
      • Per-student licensing for our two-day Scrum for Enterprise Teams class, which is often used as precursor training to an Agile Release Train quickstart program.

      Qualifications

      Qualified attendees will have a minimum of 10 years experience in software development, at least five of which have been spent in agile development environments in a management, lead, or project management role. Other relevant certifications, such as Scrum Alliance, Certified ICAgile Professional, Scrum.Org, Lean and DSDM, will be considered.
